LOOK! its finished my hacksaw blade number 2

[stanley lake]

hi everybody as promised her is my hacksaw blade knife number 2 made from the same Peace off high speed sandvik hacksaw blade. i think this one is moor interesting than the last one it handles extreamly well in the hand and is very nicely shaped and a pleasure to hold the hole knife is 22cm long the blade is 101/2 cm long and 3 cm wide at its widest point if i remember the handles are a pair off matched book mark australian lace wood scales. and as with all my knives the wood has been french polished with Henry flack BRIWAX by hand thy still have a lot of polishing to go to make them hardy to the outside elements. now the hardest part for me is to put pictores on thread sorry about these pictures being a bit in your face i will master it eventually ill post the third knife to morrow by for know Stanley

Hi bill with extreme caution knife number 2 has not bean honed in yet i usually use oil stone then something like a japanese wet stone to finish off the trouble with this sandvik steel is when thy are sharpened thy are lethal i got a nice cut on the back off my finger from knife 1 just by accidentally dropping it on my finger so for that reason i tend to not sharpen them until needed

Thanks!

when thy are sharpened thy are lethal

Good steel, fairly thin blade...I can see how you could get a wicked edge! Would be great for food prep etc. around the campsite.

You need to buy better leather as that is the only thing | can see that is letting (your work that is) you down from an excellent job
